Tyler, The Creator is one of the most successful artists of his era. Since first hitting the scene in 2011, Tyler’s eclectic style has won him fans the world over. His keen musicianship has also earned him numerous awards and accolades during a more than a decade-long career. However, there is one achievement the California native hadn’t accomplished until recently, a top-selling vinyl album.

Chart Data reports that The Creator’s album Call me If You Get Lost was the top-selling rap vinyl album worldwide in 2022. The news of Tyler’s latest feat shouldn’t exactly be surprising. The album, Tyler’s sixth, was released in June of 2021. The project was a smash hit with fans and critics alike, debuting at number 1 on the Billboard 200. Moreover, the album earned Tyler his second Grammy Award for Best Album after 2020’s Igor.

Tyler, The Creator Reaches a New Milestone

Meanwhile, Tyler’s legions of fans will now have even more to smile about. He recently took to Twitter to announce that he was releasing a new Deluxe album, Estate Sale Deluxe. This new project includes eight tracks that didn’t make the final cut. The 32-year-old explained that the original album was the first project in which a decent number of songs were left out. Tyler explained that the new version of the album will include eight tracks that didn’t make the final cut. “CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST WAS THE FIRST ALBUM I MADE WITH ALOT OF SONGS THAT DIDNT MAKE THE FINAL CUT,” he wrote. “SOME OF THOSE SONGS I REALLY LOVE, AND KNEW THEY WOULD NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY, SO IVE DECIDED TO PUT A FEW OF THEM OUT.”

 

These are busy times for the New Magic Wand rapper. Earlier this week, he released videos for his songs “Hot Wind Blows” and “Heaven to Me.” A third video, “Wharf Talk,” featuring ASAP Rocky, dropped last week. The new videos show growth in style and maturity for a man who has been in the rap game since he was a teenager. Tyler is an artist who you never quite know what he is going to do next. But whatever it is, you can always expect him to bring his usual irreverent style into the project.

Papa Roach’s Jacoby Shaddix on the Linkin Park reunion: “It’s awesome that their music can be celebrated”

Papa Roach‘s Jacoby Shaddix has shared his perspective on the Linkin Park reunion, and said “it’s awesome that their music can be celebrated”.

During an appearance on The Bailey Show that followed the recent announcement of the band’s comeback with Emily Armstrong as their co-vocalist, Shaddix was asked his thoughts on the band’s return by host Jason Bailey.

“I really like that new song [‘The Emptiness Machine’],” he said, via Blabbermouth. “I really like that new song they put out, man. I put that thing on repeat I was, like, I’m vibing.

“It’s trippy ’cause one of our producers, Colin Brittain, who I’ve been working with now for probably the last six [to] eight years, he’s playing drums in Linkin Park [now],” he continued. “He’s tripping. He’s just, like, ‘Dude, I got an opportunity that I can’t pass up.’ I’m, like, ‘Yeah, go do that, dude. People wanna hear this.’ And so it’s awesome that their music can be celebrated.”

Referencing the controversy that has clouded Armstrong’s reception, which began when fans learned of her alleged links to Scientology and ties to convicted rapist Danny Masterson, Shaddix said: “I know people are very polarised about this.”

Following substantial backlash, Armstrong has since issued a statement on her former support of Masterson, although fans are still divided about her position in the band, with Chester Bennington’s mother recently admitting she felt “betrayed” by the new line-up.

“But I look at it like when Stone Temple Pilots lost Scott Weiland,” he said. “Who stepped in? Chester.”

He continued to say the late singer “stepped in to carry that flag for rock and roll”, and “it makes sense why somebody would step in in his place and in his absence to carry that flag and to bring that message to the people, because it’s a hopeful message”.

The ‘Last Resort’ singer was asked if that was “the overall consensus” in the music world – that a band should continue with a revised lineup if a member is unable to continue – and Shaddix said: “It’s interesting, because as I saw them coming back with a new singer, it really kind of stirred some odd emotions in me, to be honest.

“I was just thinking about my own band and, like, ‘Fuck, man. If I die, do I want my band to continue this thing?’ And honestly, I’m torn. I don’t have a straight-up answer for it. I think it’s a bit different ’cause Linkin Park has two singers.

“And I don’t know, man. I don’t really have a straight answer for you on that. I don’t know. But I’ve got plans on sticking around. I don’t plan on going out anytime soon. Hopefully I outlive everybody. I’m a cockroach. I ain’t going nowhere.”

In other Linkin Park news, they debuted a new track named ‘Heavy Is The Crown’ in Hamburg earlier this week, and are set to perform at London’s O2 tonight (September 24).
